This document provides an overview of total quality management (TQM) concepts. It discusses key terms like quality, customer, and product. It outlines the historical evolution of quality management, including contributions from thinkers like Deming, Juran, Ishikawa and Ohno. Deming's 14 points for management and Juran's quality trilogy are summarized. Major quality concepts are also defined, such as the balanced scorecard, ISO standards, just-in-time, kaizen, quality circles, and six sigma. The document provides context and definitions to introduce readers to foundational TQM principles and philosophies.
Total quality management (TQM) is a comprehensive management approach focused on quality and continuous improvement. It originated from the work of quality experts like Deming and Shewhart and was adopted widely in Japan. TQM involves all departments and employees working together horizontally to enhance quality and productivity. It emphasizes customer focus, process improvement, prevention over inspection, and fact-based decision making. Successful implementation of TQM requires participative management, continuous process improvement, and the use of cross-functional teams.
This document provides an overview and comparison of Total Quality Management (TQM) and Lean Manufacturing (LM). Both approaches aim to optimize production processes, but they differ in some key ways. TQM focuses on continuous improvement and meeting customer needs through statistical analysis and employee involvement. LM emphasizes eliminating waste and non-value adding activities from production processes. While they have common goals of reducing defects and improving efficiency, LM specifically targets reducing inventory and the time from customer order to delivery. The document concludes that TQM and other improvement methods can support each other to help companies become more competitive.
A working definition for total quality management (tqm) researchers Luong Tien Dat
This document provides a working definition for total quality management (TQM) by developing a definition that incorporates key points from leading thinkers on the topic. [The summary develops a definition of TQM in 3 steps: 1) It examines existing definitions and their limitations, 2) It analyzes the key concept of "quality" by reviewing perspectives from major TQM experts like Deming, and 3) It proposes developing a comprehensive definition by building on common elements from experts while addressing different perspectives.] The goal is to create a definition that is broad enough to be universally acceptable yet specific enough to accurately represent the complex concept of TQM.
This document discusses the importance of implementing Total Quality Management (TQM) principles and business excellence strategies when implementing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. The key points are:
1) ERP implementation is a socio-technical endeavor that requires modifying business processes, but many ERP implementations fail due to organizational and cultural issues. TQM/business excellence principles can help address these issues.
2) TQM emphasizes factors like top management commitment, teamwork, training, and employee empowerment that are important for successful ERP implementation.
3) For ERP implementation to be successful, TQM must be integrated into the corporate strategy and form a "quality loop" that ensures continuous improvement.

Title : HOW THE AGILE METHOD OF MANAGEMENT CAN MAKE A COMPANY MORE
EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY
Competition in the business environment has necessitated the implementation of distinct
management practices to boost performance. Agile management practices, derived from project
management, have proven effective in boosting business performance. The implementation of
this technique in general business management has sparked numerous contentions on its
effectiveness in improving business performance. The proponents consider the agile
management method to bring about numerous benefits to the companies and enable the team
members to become creative and adopt practices that improve their overall performances. The
opponents, on the other hand, consider the agile management practices to lack the ability to
address the needs of the project teams extensively ensure optimum productivity and output. This
study seeks to investigate the manner in which agile management can make a company more
effective and efficient, both internally and externally.
This document provides an abstract and introduction for a paper comparing Total Quality Management (TQM) and Lean Manufacturing. The abstract indicates that the paper will make a comparative study between TQM and Lean Manufacturing with an emphasis on Lean Thinking. It will categorize related literature, analyze it, and integrate the findings. The introduction provides background on TQM and Lean Manufacturing, noting they are different approaches to optimization but share some commonalities. It also gives some definitions and principles of each approach.

The history of mankind has been the history of improvement. Darwin's concept of the survival of the fittest certainly applies to the business community. In the construction industry, the failure rate is about 25% and although there are many reasons for this, one of the prominent ones is that companies do not organize for sustainability and do not continue to do the things necessary to face ever changing challenges which give them the fuel for sustainability. Total Quality Management is a process for continual improvement. Construction contractors should evaluate what TQM has to offer and from that evaluation customize concepts that are appropriate to its culture and needs. This webinar provides the guidance to construction contractors' evaluation of the principles of TQM which can and perhaps should be implemented in a given company.

Implementing total quality management to improve facilitiesLaukik Raut
This research work aims to understand Total Quality Management concepts and evaluating the extent of TQM
implementation in Mechanical Engineering Department through student feedback survey.
In keeping with the newer demands that have been placed on the self financed educational system by the various
stakeholders, the technical educational system in particular, has been pressured to shift its focus from one in
quantitative expansion to one with emphasis on quality. Growth and survival of these institutes is fully
depending on their competitive working style, opinions of their customers/students about their performance, and
contribution to economic growth. It is being increasingly recognized that high quality of products and services
are associated with customer satisfaction and they are the key points for survival for any organization whether
educational or otherwise. Not oblivious to the need for adaptation to serve the interests of its stakeholders, in
terms of greater responsiveness, the educational system has begun to realize the significance of total quality
management (TQM) in education.

10thEdition(1994) defines quality as
“an inherent feature; degree of excellence;
and superiority in kind
Some definitions that have gained wide
acceptance in the corporate world
“Meeting or exceeding customer
expectations”
Juran, one of the quality gurus, defined
quality as;
Fitness for Use
Page 4
5. Introduction
Based on Juran‘s definiton, quality
therefore does not only have to be
perceived by the customer, but the
customer experience of quality of a
product or service is more important.
Quality does not mean an expensive
product
Page 5
6. Introduction
The American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) and the American
Society for Quality (ASO) defined
quality as;
The totality of features and
characteristics of a product or service
that bears on its ability to satisfy
customer’s stated and implied needs.

company that receive the processed
product.
Page 8
9. Introduction
What is a product?
the output of a process carried by the
organization. It may be goods (e.g.
cellphones), software(e.g. a computer
code, a report) or service (e.g. banking,
insurance
Page 9
10. Introduction
How is customer satisfaction
achieved?
Two Dimensions of Quality:
Product feature- refers to the quality of
design.
In a manufacturing industry, it includes
performance, reliability, durability, ease
of use, esthetics, etc
In a service industry, customer
satisfation is gained through accuracy,
timeliness, friendliness and courtesy,
knowledge of server, etc.
Page 10
11. Introduction
Freedom from deficiencies – refers to
quality of conformance
Conformance to standards- ability of
the product or service to conform to the
stated and implied requirements of
customers.
Higher conformance means fewer
complaint and increased customer
satisfaction
Page 11
12. Introduction
Why Quality?
Reasons why quality is a cardinal
priority for most organizations.
Competition
Changing customer-the new customer is
not only commanding priority based on
volume but is more demanding about the
“quality system”
Changing product mix – the shift from
low volume high price to high volume,
low price resulted in a need to reduce the
internal cost of poor quality.
Page 12
13. Introduction
Product complexity- as systems have
become more complex the reliability
requirments for suppliers of components
have bome more tough
Higher level of customer satisfaction-
higher customer expectations are getting
spawned by increasing competition.

14. History of quality management
…To know the future, know the past!
Before Industrial Revolution, skilled craftsmen
served both as manufacturers and inspectors,
building quality into their products through their
considerable pride in their workmanship.
Industrial Revolution changed this basic concept
to interchangeable parts. Likes of ;
– F. W. Taylor (“scientific management” fame)
emphasized on the use of scientific standards
equitably to managers as well as workers.
Page 14
15. History of quality management
…To know the future, know the past!
– Adam Smith who advocated dividing the labor
required to make a product into simple, repetitive
tasks in order to develop workers’ skills, save time
and use specialized tools
– Frank and Lilian Gilbreth’s Time and Motion
economy, they believed that a way a task is
performed is as important as the time it takes to do
it.
Page 15
16. History of quality management
Statistical approaches to quality control started at
Western Electric with the separation of inspection
division. Pioneers like Dr. Walter Shewhart, Deming
W.Edwards and Joseph M. Juran were all
employees of Western Electric.
– Dr. Walter Shewart (1891-1967) developed the Plan, Do,
Check Act (PDCA) cycle for continuous improvement which is
in use even today
After World War II, under General MacArthur's Japan
rebuilding plan, Deming and Juran went to Japan.
- Deming W, Edwards (1900-1993) modified PDCA cycle of
Shewart to the Plan, Do, Study and Act (PDSA). He also
advocated the extensive used of statistical quality control theory
to Japanese industry along with Juran.
Page 16
17. History of quality management
Deming stressed the importance of suppliers
and customers for the business development
and improvement.
– He believed that people do their best and it is the system
that must change to improve quality.
– His 14 Points for Management formed the basis for his
advise to top Japanese management.
Page 17
18. History of quality management
Joseph M. Juran (1904), developed the Statistical
Quality Handbook for Western Electric Company. He
identified Fitness of quality and popularized the
same
Juran travelled to Japan to teach his own theories-
that hands-on management was necessary at all
levels of corporation to ensure quality control and that
problems are opportunities to make improvements.
– His approach is still known today as the JuranTrilogy;
quality planning, quality control and quality improvement
Page 18
19. History of quality management
In Japan the following individual took seed from this
training and went on to developed their own major
contributions to what is now Total Quality
Management:
Kaoru Ishikawa (1915-1989), strongly advocated
the use of cause and effect diagram to provide a
true representation of the organizational impact and
procedures. He developed Fishbone or Ishikawa
diagram for cause and effect analyis.
Taichi Ohno, known as the father of just-inTime
production. He is also the co-creator of Toyota
Production System (TPS)
Page 19
20. History of quality management
Shigeo Shingo worked with Ohno on the TPS process
and developed some of its popular concepts including
poka-yoke (which means “mistake-proof in Japanese
and refers to taking human judgement out of some
types of production, thereby minimizing human errors)
Page 20
21. History of quality management
Next 20 odd years, when top managers in USA
focused on marketing, production quantity and
financial performance, Japanese managers
improved quality at an unprecedented rate.
Market started preferring Japanese products
and American companies suffered immensely.
America woke up to the quality revolution in early
1980s. Ford Motor Company consulted Dr. Deming
to help transform its operations.
(By then, 80-year-old Deming was virtually unknown
in USA. Whereas Japanese government had
instituted The Deming Prize for Quality in 1950.)
Page 21
22. History of quality management
Managers started to realize that “quality of
management” is more important than
“management of quality.” Birth of the term Total
Quality Management (TQM).

organization’s management systems.
Early 1990s: Quality management principles
started finding their way in service industry. FedEx,
The Ritz-Carton Hotel Company were the quality
leaders.
TQM recognized worldwide: Countries like
Korea, India, Spain and Brazil are mounting efforts
to increase quality awareness.

Organization (ISO).
- headquartered in Switzerland
-more than 100 nations are “members”, that define
and agree on, and abide by a wide rang of product
and process safety and quality standards
-the idea behind ISO certification is that products
made in different nations be compatible for use in
others.
-this allows manufacturers to buy parts from
suppliers in other countries.
Major Quality Concepts
29. - The Quality Management Systems (QMS)
standards are know as “ISO 9000” family of
standards; (ISO 9000-2000, ISO 9001-2000, ISO
9004-2000); the environmental management system
are ISO 14000 and so on.

grouping people together in “Quality Control” (QC),
meetings where they shared their expertise and worked
to solved a problem or improve process.
6. Six Sigma – created by Motorola in 1980s. The name
refers to a scientific way of describing quality based on
variations that occur in any process-plus or minus three
“sigmas.” Sigma is the Greek letter that signifies the
standard deviations in a mathematical formula.
-the “sigma level” quantifies defects per million opportunities
(DPMO)

32. 7. TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT – a comprehensive,
organization-wide effort to improve the quality of products
and services, applicable to all organizations.
- TQM quality is managed by the total effort of an
organization, and that each department or phase of
